The Redhill Academy is a thriving and over-subscribed 11-18 academy with specialisms in the Performing Arts and Science. In March 2013, Ofsted judged The Redhill Academy to be an outstanding school for the second time. The academy is a founding member of The Redhill Academy Trust and is also a member of the Redhill Teaching School Alliance, and as such, there are excellent CPD opportunities and the chance to work alongside other high performing schools in the region.
The Trust’s core purpose of raising student achievement is reflected in its values, ethos and working practices. This is therefore also an exciting opportunity to join an expanding trust.

• manage resources effectively and innovatively to secure best value and promote the highest achievement for students and staff alike
